So everyone is leaving?

[Bug_Stomper_01]

Seems to me lots of company’s in the states are drafting Canadian talent. Just heard of two more guys in my circle headed south of the border.

I left, y'all can have Trudeau and the s*** hole he created.

Lol

Frontier Posting for Canadian A&P mechanics on H1b or TN visa. I know pilots do not qualify under either visa, but it is movement south

Positive step. Would be nice to see this extend to flight crew, as the NIW is a lengthy and painful process to complete. At least eith an H1B the onus is on the employer to handle the transition, something they are unwilling to do right now.

Ames are in HUGE demand in the USA. They like us there because of our training and standards. As much suck that this industry in Canada is serving out, if you’ve been doing this ten or more years at a good shop you were likely trained properly. There’s no shortage of people in the states but the experience and knowledge is going extinct.
Call me crazy but I think that boomers which make / made up a lot of the good A&P’s / IA’s are finally hanging up their lockwire pliers. Covid had a bit to do with this I think, lots of guys I knew that were laid off weren’t available to come back and or were offered early retirement packages.
I haven’t had a shortage of high paying work since I made the switch a few years ago, but now I’m turning down so much work I’m thinking about hiring help lol

Likely left the country I guess lol

One could, of course, argue that the 's***hole' was actually created by the opposition parties, who failed to put up enough decent candidates/leaders to prevail in a general election..

There’s several layers. This country is handcuffed to a very bad government

[mmm..bacon]

Is it really a bad government, though? What are the metrics for that? How do we shape up compared to the rest of the G7 countries? I honestly don't know, and am asking. Or is this just a reactionary thread run by people who are pissed off about the price of gas and woke signalling? I will concede that pilot salaries here are in terrible shape...

Blame the woke media for that who hate everyone even remotely conservative. Never mind that. Centralist. The media is abhorrent not only wishing to make any candidates life miserable but targeting spouses and children.

Things are indeed the worst I’ve seen them
In my career in Canada. That’s why I left, I hate Canadas industry and what desperate operators are still justifying as necessary despite morality issues not to mention questionably legal boundaries being encroached.

Looks like lately everyone I know that flies wants to leave this country. It’s depressing.

Left Canada in September as a 300 hour pilot with CPL and Group 1. I'm halfway through my ATPL exams in Warsaw with 7 more to go. Many F/O positions are up for grabs after the conversion process is complete. For people with dual citizenship or work visas, this is a great option at the moment.

Could you please PM me? I don't think I can because I have a low count post. I'm in a very similar situation like you. Thank you.

Not buying it. The problem is there are too many Canadians that are perfectly happy with the path that Canada is on, and will in all probability re-elect Trudeau or his successor yet again. Especially if he gets his ranked ballot electoral reform.

Moved to 'Murica, took a job with an Airline that pays appropriately.

Get me a green card and I'll give you 10% of my earnings for the rest of my life and I'll name my first born son after you.

Which visa did you end up going on? I looked into the EB-2 NIW but seems like a longshot.

Are these positions that fly long haul? Also isn’t paying your your type rating the norm in Europe? I’d happily jump ship but I’m curious what the path looks like?

“Appropriately”, how sad that Canada won’t ever do that lol. They push the “be grateful just to have a job” mentality to farthest extremes and beyond in Canada. This warped management theory all just to save a few bucks at the cost of ruining peoples careers / livelihoods.

Congrats. Glad another one got out and is being treated humanely
